One of Backstrom’s blocks came at 7:36 in the first period when he blocked a shot from Justin Schultz that hit his hand. After that point, Backstrom didn’t take any more face-offs after that point in the game.

There will not be a practice tomorrow but Trotz will address the media at 2:30 p.m. It is around that time when we should know more. If Backstrom is indeed hurt and will miss time, the Capitals will be without three significant forwards heading into Game 6.
